    I saw this video about a year ago, and thanks to you I no longer spend my money on Pokémon cards. I buy huge bulk , resale it in lots of 100 cards, get my money back and spend all the extra money on singles that I want. I’ve bought around 1K in cards for my collection without spending a single penny of my income.

    As a person who started collecting in the last 2 weeks I can agree those bulk sales seem very reasonable & tempting when starting out. 50 cards for $5 vs 10 cards for a $5 pack sounds better when we are starting from scratch and just want cards for ourselves regardless of what they are.

    I remember putting my bulk cards into sleeved binders 3 of them completely full , I spent the time to individually price each of them for my mom's yard sale , the next week I seen her and she told me they all sold I was so excited , then she said yeah some dude offered me $2 for all of them , and then I explained to her that the binders and sleeved pages cost me more than $2 .....
    That was like 15 years ago , all base set or fossil..

      Made the same mistake except a binder of base set foils for $350. This was a couple years after base set came out... Def not making that mistake again.
      Even if "modern" cards aren't worth anything in another 25 years, I already know I'll look back on it and think "I still made the right decision".

      Happened to most of us. My mom sold my old cards while I was away and I know she didn’t get much for them. And years ago, my parents had me tear up my Yu Gi Oh cards because they thought they were the devil... the joys of growing up in Texas… I was so sad that day. There was always something happening that shook people out of their cards. That’s why they’re so expensive nowadays.

      Sold my original collection of about 2000 cards plus another 15 decks all from base set up to neo plus a game boy classic with a few games all for $150 on eBay 4 years ago when I was struggling, i regret it so bad, I think about it all the time, wish I would’ve never done it, worst part was that somehow the guy who bought em never received the package, he reported me on PayPal after a few months, he got his money back, i was charged the $150 and the package was lost, when I entered the tracking number I got an error and Usps couldn’t help me
